America's Highest Ranked Climate Charlatans: Obama and Kerry

By Alan
Caruba

John
Kerry, our Secretary of State, continues to provide reasons to believe he is
either too stupid to hold such a high position or too willing to tell lies to
keep pace with President Obama.

Their
views on “climate change” are so lacking in scientific fact that they are
telling people we’re all doomed if we don’t abandon vast traditional U.S.
energy resources and continue tothrow
more billions at “renewable energy” that provides a very costly three percent
of the nation’s huge energy needs. Meanwhile, nations in Europe, China, India
and elsewhere are abandoning solar and wind, and building coal-fired plants.

At a
Boston College commencement speech on May 19, Kerry outdid himself talking
about climate change. “If we make the necessary efforts to address this challenge—and
supposing I’m wrong or scientists are wrong, 97 percent of them all
wrong—supposing they are, what’s the worst that can happen?” The worst is more
wasted billions spent on something mankind can do nothing about and the
administration’s continued efforts to control every inch of land in the U.S.
and all of its waters.

In the May
27 edition of The Wall Street Journal, Joe Bast, the president of the
free-market think tank, the Heartland Institute, and Dr. Roy Spencer, a
principal research scientist for the University of Alabama, teamed out to write
about “The Myth of the Climate Change 97%.” While demolishing this Big Lie,
they noted that “Surveys of meteorologists repeatedly find a majority oppose
the alleged consensus. Only 39.5% of 1,854 American Meteorological Society
members who responded to a survey in 2012 said man-made global warming is
dangerous.”

Obama’s
and Kerry’s problem, along with all the other climate change charlatans, is
that is the Earth is now into its 17th year of a natural cooling
cycle based on lower radiation from the Sun, itself in a natural cycle. It is
the Sun, not mankind that determines the climate of the Earth.

The Petition Project in which 31,073 U.S. scientists, over 9,000 of whom have a
Ph.D. in a scientific field, participated says “There is no convincing
scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other
greenhouse gases is causing or will in the foreseeable future cause
catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s
climate.”

“The
purpose of the Petition Project is to demonstrate that the claim of ‘settled
science’ and an overwhelming ‘consensus’ in favor of the hypothesis of
human-caused global warming and consequent climatological damage is wrong. No
such consensus or settled science exists.”

In his
State of the Union speech, Obama said “climate change is a fact.” Well, yes, if
you keep in mind that climate change is measured in centuries, not decades or years. Claiming that every hurricane or
tornado is evidence of climate change ignores this. His claim that climate
change is “settled science” is just one more lie.

The Obama
administration recently released a Climate Assessment report that was nothing
more than a repeat of the lies the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change has been telling since 1983. They have all been based on
computer models rigged to produce a global warming outcome. This process
continues in several U.S. government agencies.

Following
the last mini-ice age that lasted from 1300 to 1850, the Earth quite naturally
warmed, most of which occurred prior to 1945. Meanwhile, the ice sheets of both
the Arctic and Antarctica have been growing, particularly at the South Pole.
The rise of oceans is measured in mere centimeters, posing no threat to polar
bears or the island of Manhattan.

To Kerry’s
question, “What’s the worst that can happen?” a recent Wall Street Journal
opinion said that answer is “we spend trillions of dollars trying to solve a
problem that we can’t do anything to stop: that we misallocate scarce resources
in a way that slows economic growth; that slower growth leads to less economic
opportunity for Boston College grads and especially the world’s poor; and that
America and the world become much less wealthy and technologically advanced
than we would otherwise. All of which would make the world less able to cope
with the costs of climate change if Mr. Kerry is right.”

Mr. Kerry isn't right and that makes him and President Obama a national and a global problem.

The Obama administration is continuously producing disinformation about climate. Kerry's lies are disgusting. So are John Holdren's lies about the polar vortex posted on the White House web site. Obama's statement that these are Holdren's private opinions, not science, are laughably irresponsible. The most recent fraud I'm aware of is NOAA PMEL throwing out 80 years of ocean pH models and using a computer model to show a decline in pH. Obama is destroying the US economy and bankrupting citizens to artificially inflate the carbon trading market that he helped establish; a trading scheme more fraudulent than a Ponzi scheme that's transferring global assets to the .001% of the wealthiest while paying interest to Rothschild and Rockefeller monopoly bankers. The greatest fraud in the history of the world.
